Gideon Thrall is though to be a great war hero but he doesn't understand why. Gideon was a plane bombler pilot, who killed many enemy civilians and did not understand how his country thought killing was good. Gideon feels he needs to apologize to the enemy and runs away. This begins an exciting adventure to find the truth, but he is not alone. Along the way Tessa, a childhood friend follows him and Dek is found in the plane. These three have many obstacles to get around which makes the story exciting and full of surprises and plot turns!
